Can I use it without mounting onto the wall. I thought it was freestanding till I started assembling it. I have a small apartment and cannot screw into the walls. So I am considering returning it. Are there are hacks where I can use it without mounting onto a wall? Thanks in advance!

Hacks on how to stack the IKEA BISSA shoe cabinet?

Add Capita legs to Bissa shoe cabinet
Bissa shoe cabinet hack into tv stand.
I don't think weight is a problem, as flatscreens are fairly lightweight nowadays. An old plasma might have been an issue, but any LED should be ok from a weight perspective.
How are you going to secure it, though? Just the base is not going to be enough for safety... personally, I'd wall mount it.
More on reddit.comI live in a small apartment, but with high ceilings. I was wondering if there is a hack to stack the 3 compartment BISSA and the 2 compartment BISSA on top of each other?
IKEA hack; Add Capita legs to Bissa shoe cabinet using Milescraft pocket hole jig, 2x3 Pine frame and 1x4 Pine cross tie. This framing can be applied to any cabinet with a hollow bottom. Attach the frame using wood glue and 1 1/4" screws. As the sides are only 1/2" thick position pocket hole to suit the panel thickness #DIY #ikeahack #design #ideas.
Please share your thoughts and if this was helpful...
I want to line the bedroom wall with four of these three drawer pieces and put a 30in tv on top (secured). Think they could hold the weight ? Or should I wall mount the tv? https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/bissa-shoe-cabinet-with-3-compartments-white-10530259/

There is simply not enough depth along the top to hold your TV there. Even if you strap the TV to the wall for safety, I doubt that the cabinets could hold the weight of your TV. Even if you have four cabinets along the wall, the base of the TV is not going to be sitting on all four - only one or two will be holding the entire weight of the TV. Whereas if you had one cabinet the same length of the 4 shoe cabinets, the weight of the TV would be distributed along the entire length. I think you would be much better off wall mounting the TV and then put whatever cabinets you want below that.
